Zelensky recalled that “in the propaganda of Nazi Germany, the term Wunderwaffe, a Wunderwaffe, existed. The more it became clear that they had no chance in the war, the more propagated was an extraordinary weapon that was powerful enough to make a breakthrough in the war », it should be a laser. Everything shows the complete failure of the invasion ».
